Wednesday, 11 Jan 2006: A lot has happened recently, and ChatZilla 0.9.69.2 is now out. The big issues currently are motifs not displaying properly and the timer problem - luckly we've managed to get the first one fixed (for Firefox 1.5.0.1)

, and are making good headway with the second one. These are both Firefox (Gecko) bugs, but they only affect us seriously, which is why we get to do all the hard work!
The other news is that starting with ChatZilla 0.9.69.2, 1% of all new users will be asked to enabled a "startup ping", which will send the client's version to one of our developer's servers each time it starts. Nothing except the client version, and the name and version of the host app (Firefox, Mozilla, XULRunner) is sent - certainly nothing that could identify the user - and there is the option to not send the ping. This data should help us to idenify what people are doing with ChatZilla - do they run it on older versions of Mozilla, for example, and how long they take to upgrade to the newest release. We should also be able to estimate the number of active users, which is much more useful that the simple "download count" we currently have. [Less]
